Mar 28 2015 - 2:00pm

If standing on your head [1] has become easy for you, it's time to move on to a more challenging inversion — the Forearm Stand. This pose has a lot to do with shoulder and upper back strength, but it's also about engaging your core muscles. If you try kicking up with two legs at a time the momentum of both legs going up often makes you topple over. So here's a simple approach to help you find your balance.

If you're feeling very unstable and nervous about working on Forearm Stand, try this yoga sequence to help build the strong upper body [3] and core, as well as open shoulders and hamstrings you need for this inversion.
